Magic Kingdom
Started the day at "Cinderella's Castle" again today, as they put on an amazing show on the steps in front of the castle, very well done and thoroughly enjoyed by everyone, all the Princes and Princesses were out and dancing etc etc.
Next was the Jungle Cruise at the Magic Kingdom which takes you on a 10 minute tour of four continents this ride is definitely one of the funniest at Disney World. You'll board a boat with names like "Amazon Annie" with your trusted guide?? at the helm. While they all follow the same "shtick", the guides are what make this attraction so much fun, especially if they throw in a few ad-libs. Even when you've heard the same corny joke a thousand times before, you can't help but laugh. Very enjoyable ride!!!!
Lunch at the Crystal Palace Restaurant, a buffet of
American cuisine as part of Character dining, here the kids met Tigger, Pooh, Eeyore and Piglet (who Fern called "The Big Ham") Piglet clearly did not have a good sense of humour.......
Feeling a little exhausted we all went back to the hotel in the rain - the first we experienced - soft but dampening, Shan & Britt stayed at Magic Kingdom alone and carried on with rides etc........very safe the kids can do things on their own and just catch the bus back - very proud of you girls!!!!
Erin, Jamie, Josh and Lans + Matt all went for a nap. Fern & I dashed off to Downtown Disney - WOW awesome shopping here - but we were really after some cheesy shirts, the in-thing here is for big parties to all wear the same shirts, yip same colour, same cheesy lines etc......Well we went and got shirts for the 9 of us for New Years Eve - if you cant beat them we gotta join them, giggled all the way there and back...cant wait to see if Matt + Lans are actually going to wear these!!!!!!
Dinner - Polynesian hotel - "Spirit of Aloha Dinner".....OMG this was worse than the ho-down dinner......lol!!! The theme - supposed enchanting music, South Sea island costumes and traditional dancing plus an all-you-care-to-eat dinner created from the islands of Tahiti and Fiji. The stage is set in the open air theatre on the Seven Seas Lagoon, our waitress was so old - everytime she disappeared for more than 10 minutes we thought we may have lost her - poor old duck !!! Fern was pulled onto stage by the "professional folk" dancers.......lol.... the rest is history!!!!! We ended off the evening with a "little shopping" at the Polynesian hotel adding to our huge collection of badges, lanyards and over-weight luggage!!!!!!!!
